I am running Slackware 14.0 right now. I compiled (through SlackBuilds) openbox, and now I run Openbox as the WM for KDE. Openbox's Onyx theme goes well with the a KDE theme I am using. Openbox IS my favorite WM.

EDIT: Swapped Slackware for Zenwalk_________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

I'm also running Slack 14, which I've just installed (RC5, I don't have the full version). It's not bad except that KDE still seems to have bugs (Dolphin wouldn't let me set up a folder to unzip Opera into, for example) and you have to do more yourself to set it up than with something like Mint, which for some people is its attraction; it's like a manual gearbox on a car rather than an automatic.

It offers other options for the window manager though.

I also managed to install OpenSUSE 12.2 but sadly the internet connection failed and I couldn't get it started again. I'm going to have a look to see if I can sort it out but most likely I'll install something else in there._________________Acer Aspire M1610 (Core 2 Duo, 2.3 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive running Bunsen Labs Hydrogen, Refracta 8, OpenSUSE Li-f-e 42.1.1, ExGent February 2016 and Puppy Slacko64 6.3.2.

I have installed Arch Linux today, and i find that it was difficult to install at first, but became easy to use. My DE is lxde, and I have set lxdm (lxde's login manager) to start at start up. I use firefox as the web browser. As a side file manager I installed SpaceFM, if PCManFM bores me. I installed gtk-engines for some themes (I love clearlooks). And that is almost it._________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

Help from anyone who is familiar. This could become a Linux PS3/Xbox game console....right?

Steam is an online video game store currently available for Windows and Macs. So no, it is not a linux distro. I have a steam account myself._________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

Hi Bark, I am not into full installs so I can not do Arch at all.
But you being interested in Arch maybe would want to follow
this variation of Arch?

Maui is an innovative Linux distribution currently in development
that specifically targets personal computing.

Maui is a fast, efficient, simple to use, easy to learn and yet powerful
system for computer users of all levels.

Hawaii, the desktop environment, is a lightweight, coherent and fast
desktop environment that relies on Qt 5, QtQuick and Wayland and
is designed to offer the best UX for the device where it is running.

Maui doesn't have the traditional packages, it offers an innovative update system with point in time recovery and lower bandwidth usage; applications are shipped as bundles (compressed images that don't need to be decompressed).

It is under construction but could be cool to follow the development of it?
They aim at to boot it at around 4 seconds._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Hello nooby, My only problem with that Arch-based project is that it uses wayland instead of Xorg.

But now with my Arch setup, I am trying to mimic a Puppy Desktop, I run...

IceWM - As the Window Manager
ROX - as the desktop

and I want to add drive icons._________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

Interesting. The only Arch that I've been able to boot frugally
where an Italian guy but his computer broke down and he lost
all his Arch files and he gave up on further dev of his version of Arch.

He later got a gift from one of his many readers giving him a laptop
but unfortunately not hard ware enough so he changed over to the
French Distro instead.

Use the google search in my signature and try to find each Arch post
in the Puppy forum to find others interested in Arch and you guys
can start a thread sharing ideas like the Slacko or other devs do
could be fun to share what you see as possible to get going.

23 Jun 2012 – I sadly don't have time for archiso-live anymore. I also know i can never make archlinux source iso since it would be like about or over 25gb.

so he lost all of his dev things there sad. You can download his iso
hopefully and take it apart and learn from things he did?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Isn't ConnochaetOS (an update on the Deli distro for old computers) based on Arch and Icewm nowadays? I used to run it on my old computer but I came to find it a bit limited for what I wanted to do with my machine; I couldn't install Osmo on it, for a start._________________Acer Aspire M1610 (Core 2 Duo, 2.3 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive running Bunsen Labs Hydrogen, Refracta 8, OpenSUSE Li-f-e 42.1.1, ExGent February 2016 and Puppy Slacko64 6.3.2.

Based on the latest Slackware 14...... kernel 3.2.29. Not bad on this old slow machine.And allows running as root too.

Yeah, Absolute is a good Slack-based distro, and I really like the games on it (Anagramarama, Concentration and Icebreaker). I wish other distros had those even in the repos.

Has it got package management yet though? In the earlier version of Absolute I tried, you pretty much had to install packages from source and work out the dependencies yourself (the main bugbear with Slackware and its derivatives)

It appears that package management/dependencies is still a work in progress in Absolute.Compiling was a bit slow on that old P3......
